jazzy mcjazzersons

I'll be doing my podcast on jazz since 1960, and how the changes in jazz have influenced mainstream groups such as The Bad Plus and Medeski, Martin, and Wood. I already have a decent outline that includes an explanation of what jazz was in the 60's, how it started to transform into free jazz and fusion, and the return to a more grounded art form all before 1980. I still need to do a little more research regarding the 80's till today, but that's when I anticipate my special guest will come in- I've asked a few of my friends in the jazz department if they'd be interested in helping me out, but I haven't gotten a definite yet. But that's where I'm at in the podcasting world.
